Huachuma, The key to heaven. Pisac, Peru

Express that what is expressing you.

Grace comes. It does come to you when you drop all desires of wanting or insisting anything to be different than it already is. The gates of Heaven, Earth and Heart open when you are ready to leave everything behind that is not Love. When you let go all you made up out of ignorance, anger, pride and fear of others, the world and yourself. When you empty your pockets and drop all that little stuff you hold on to like a blind neurotic hamster. That is the reward of walking the path all by yourself, when you recognise the human life form you are, born out of starlight, right within your community and family.
During the lockdown months here in Pisac, I have been blessed to be working with the Andes native Master Plant medicine Huachuma - also named San Pedro Cactus. San Pedro or Saint Peter, the holder of the Key to Heaven it says somewhere. They say Huachuma is the Grandfather, Abuelo, like Ayahuasca is the Mother or Grandmother, Abuela... It is for sure Grand, it is Huge.
Over time sitting with it, I have been also cooking it, instructed on how-to by the Plant itself, but also with the help of Don Hernan, a humble local shaman and some of my dear friends who shared with me their experience with it.
Then I have gone alone with the medicine, with my drum and rattle into the Apus, the sacred mountains of the Valley who guide me through the Prayers, the offerings, through the layers and clusters of my own contractions, straight to Grace, straight to the Heart of Consciousness, straight into the bliss of Love, straight to My Self, straight to You.
Even though Yoga science is my main practice and medicine, I have learned that Master Plants are as powerful, egoless and kind as any self realised Guru during Satsang. Life provides its own Spirit Teachers of many kind.
This is what I have been instructed, directly by it, this is what I have been taught to share:
Life creates us, itself and everything in between and uses us as a mirror and a looking glass to look at Itself, at our self, to realise Itself, to evolve and understand Itself, with us, as us. That is why we wake up, that is why Awakening happens in the first place. That is why I write this.
Everything that is ever created and will be created and destroyed is an expression of consciousness’ play of discovery into itself, and also we are an extension, the embodiment, the creator, the avatar and the result of this universal awakening. We simply are this. Consciousness itself is a living Being full-blown awake.
We all go through this existence from galaxy to embryo, and when we are committed we understand that the “me” needs to step aside, when we leave the driver’s seat, when we shift from ego-centric to cosmo-centric, from believing to knowing to not knowing, from me to we, then we let the flow of Life do its job as our own life. Because it is not only about us, it is about life’s self-discovery. Our presumed identity is deeply self-contracted in its core, something like a multidimensional origami or an inter-coiled fractal, yet when we manage in the light of the eternal, to inquire, to pierce inside this self-contraction and manage to let go of this activity, ceise our own activity of contraction and separation, from the inside out, push out and shed all stagnated misunderstanding and beliefs trapped in time, in self-delusion, in a separate sense of self, and let attachment fully relax and give it all back directly to the Root Source - not just suppress or improve but transcend - and when we see the universe through its own eyes as much as through our own eyes, then we unmistakingly will accept the duty given to us as our highest purpose: to express that which is expressing us in all realms of Self-Awakened Existence, right within our inter human connections, emotions and feelings.
Our true task is to be and remain this polished and stainless mirror so that this cosmic awakening can constantly take place and forever evolve without separation, because when life becomes smarter and evolves we become smarter and evolve with it, as much as our daily life and human experience freed from all seeking.
We can only own it by being the embodied servants of that what is already.
Yet there is no owner, there is only all of us, all of It and its relationships.
Recognise your Self, recognise your home. The universe depends on it, reality is expecting you, there is a seat already reserved for you: which is who you already are. It does not serve anyone not to be.
I am not writing anything new, I am only telling it my way.
